Black Bean Burgers
these burgers have great texture and stay together while cooking and eatingIngredients:
(basics)
1 can black beans
1 c cooked brown rice
1 egg
a few tbsp or so olive oil
2-3 cloves fresh garlic
bread crumbs or ground flax or quinoa flour
salt and pepper
herbs that you like and what ever else make you happy
*a fun summery variation is adding fresh cilantro. chilies, and lime juice
Directions:
I used a food processor....
chop up garlic and herbs
puree black beans with some olive oil, garlic and spices and egg
add rice and puree again adding the rest of the olive oil
slowly add in breadcrumbs or flax or flour until desired constancy is reached
It should be pretty thick and pasty
form into patties ( I made 6 large ones)
pan fry in greased pan on low heat until golden and slightly crispy on each side (8 min or so each side)
also; I didn't do this but I think using 1/2 rice and 1/2 quinoa would likely rock
